In a way, sacred writings are the original open source project, at least
if one doesn't accept some form of "divine dictation" theory of
inspiration. As I understand it, most such texts evolved over time, with
additions and improvements being accepted by the community if they
"worked" (in an appropriately broad sense of "worked").

Scholarship also has tended to be "open source," at least till well into
the age of capitalism. And even at its best today it's open source.

These relevancies are, of course, a stretch that probably precludes the
topic from a KLUG meeting.  :)
